Caribou Carnival
Yellowknife’s Caribou Carnival is one of the must see events as a newby to the NWT. It has played a part of Yellowknife’s history for about half a century and I was glad to have the afternoon off to take it in.
The dog racing was pretty cool – our first time seeing it in real life. Seeing outdoor volley ball was pretty funny, but by far my favourite was the Dene Hand Games. The drumming, chanting and atmosphere was reminiscent of watching a good old Kiwi Haka.
